sup old man, I just wanted to congratulate you on remembering the password for this alt .. after 5 years nonetheless :applause: Seriously why don't you write a book, I bet there are some posters here who'd buy that shit like it was dr dre final album tbh :oldlol:

[SouBeachTalents]

Wade among the all time greats :applause:

[Bankaii]

Lebron averaged over 35 ppg in the 2009 playoffs.
Wilt needed 27-29 FGA just get in that range.

Hell even in the OP he's byfar leading in FGA and not in PPG.
Dude took 7 more FGA to only average 6.5 more points than Wade.:oldlol:

Wilt averaging more Rebounds than Wade did points is just as hilarious.

Literally no one outside of Wilt stans take box score stats from that era seriously. Dogshit defenses, absurd pace, substantially inferior level of competition, huge minute inflation. 29 ppt in the finals in the early 60s is nowhere near as impressive as what Shaq, MJ, Lebron were doing in the 90s-present, and it's not even close really. Andre Drummond could probably put up those numbers in the finals back then.

I also think it's hilarious how even in his supposed "scoring period", his scoring still dropped a ton every stage from RS>PS>Finals :oldlol:

:applause: :applause:

As one other poster pointed out, look at the FGA's. Dude took 7 more shots and 3 more FT's to score just 6 points more than Wade. 8 more shots than Shaq to score 6 more points. 5 more shots than LeBron to score 3 more points.

MJ actually took 2 fewer shots and a FT to score 2 points MORE than Chokerlain. "GOAT scorer" doe. :roll: :roll:

Wade stans like to attack all-time greats to compensate for their inferiority complex.

http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260704That's ridiculous. I van say that Wade wasn't the dedicated scorer for any playoff run except 2006-2010 and he barely played in 2007-2009. So it's 2 seasons.

He still has more playoff points than Wilt and is a better playoff scorer and finals scorer than Wilt
Wilt might be the only player who needs stans to set arbitrary cutoff points to make him look less horrific than he is:oldlol:

You have to understand that with Wilt fans, everything is circumstantial and in the end, not his fault.

We could do this dividing into categories for any player to excuse the dip in production. Like Duncan being a defensive anchor later in his career but no one does that. Only Wilt fans are so inventive with ways to deflect from reality.

I have no idea what Wade has to do with this, and I am not a Wilt stan by any stretch of the imagination. Also if you actually had a knowledge of the history of the game that extended beyond copied and pastied stats that can be achieved by going to bballref.com, you would understand that the op's 7 year cutoff was not arbitrary whatsoever.

[Psileas]

Not only did Wilt average 32.8 ppg in the playoffs in his high scoring seasons. He did this while facing the GOAT defender in 57.7% of his games, an absurdly high ratio.
He still never had a playoff series during that 7 season stretch when he averaged less than 27.8 ppg, something that no other player in his highest scoring span could claim (minimum of 5 seasons in a row): 1987-93 Jordan had 27.4 vs the Pistons in '88, 1962-70 Jerry West had 2 series below Wilt's worst, 1999-06 Iverson had 25.8 and 26.5 in 2000, 1961-67 Robertson had 24.8 in 1967, 1960-65 Baylor had 24.2 in 1964, prime Kareem, Bird and Shaq had multiple, etc.

And that's his playoff "weakness"...

It took Wilt 7 seasons to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer , surpassing Bob Petit. Once he hit that milestone he switched his game up entirely and went on to lead the league in Assists, TS%, and became more of a team player.

The lion's share of his playoff games occurred after he switched styles, but nuances like this just confuse the hell out of clowns like Feeny.

[Annyong!]

Cool, now post in Finals averages.

[egokiller]

There's no reason to think that anyone who dominated back then (Wilt) wouldn't be a top 3 player in any era if they were born near the same time as Lebron and others with the same access to what Bron had in his generation. Who gives a shit how his numbers would translate, the point is that he'd be a top player and the league today would be better if Wilt was playing in it.
